Running Injury Encylopedia
Things aren’t too busy. I can’t really see the screen very well. I spontaneously went to the gym and while I was out I decided to spontaneously go to school and I wasn’t wearing glasses. However, I am giving myself props for heading to school even though Laguna Beach is on right now.
I hate blogging about my injuries b/c it is getting old really quickly, but I figure at the very least my blog can act as an encyclopedia of running injuries. I seem to have touched on them all. I think I do have some sort of IT band thing going on on my good leg-or a very slightly torn lateral meniscus. I can’t tell, but there was a lot of pain last night when I was running and changing directions. It is presenting (I think) like IT pain, though I do remember the exact moment of my soccer game a week ago when my leg went weak and collapsed while I was lunging for a ball. When it was happening, which wasn’t painful at the time, I remember thinking “that feels unusual” which is why I remember it. So that’s why I was thinking meniscus. I don’t really know. I am going to rest today and tomorrow. But at 9 PM I decided (in case it IS IT band-related) that I should foam role. The gym closes at 10 so I left right away (putting my coat on over my pajamas) and headed over. Since I was there I decided it would be a waste if I didn’t lift.
I foam rolled. Consulted a trainer who has no idea what is wrong with me. Foam rolled. Lifted. Foam Rolled. Then I came to school to print out some things for tomorrow. I got blood on one copy of materials (paper cut) so I will just keep that one for me.
In other grooming/exercise news-I got my nails done and an hour later smudged one nail b/c it got scraped as I put on my bike helmet. Boooo!! (Biking doesn’t hurt the knee). I have also spent the last two days virtually recreating my running routes so my house guests could go running. We have used paper maps, verbal directions, crib sheets, and computer generated maps to get them where they were going. The success rate in my directions has been 50% so far.

Hello! I am back in the world of the computer! I have has such a crazy couple of weeks, I just caught up, My dog passed away 2wks ago, very sad. And then my house was flooded with all the rain so we have been trying to figure everything out with that, so my computer has been off. I felt so out of touch with the world. I hope the injuries are better!
